Broadband Award 2018: Best Fixed Access solution

This award recognizes Nokia for spurring development in fixed access and improving the end-user experience, and making a real contribution to the industry. Since the beginning of PON, Nokia has arguably done more than any other technology provider to support the adoption of fiber broadband, taking the technology faster and further than ever before. Nokia's fiber access solutions have a long history of industry firsts, including the first mass deployment of FTTH, the first Gigabit service and the first NG-PON deployment. Nokia's recent innovations are all in the same vein: fixed access network slicing allows network operators to provide a true Network as a Service; Nokia Fiber Access solution is the first to support a multi-vendor ONU-OLT environment through vOMCI (virtual ONU management and control interface). It decouples OLT and ONT management software and allows any control interface specification to be used to connect various vendors' ONTs to a single OLT. This gives network operators greater choice and flexibility, which reduces both CAPEX and OPEX costs.

Broadband Award 2018: Best Wireless Broadband

Nokia received recognition for its Wireless PON solution which allows operators to extend their fiber networks with 60 GHz 802.11ad WiGig technology. Operators globally look to wireless technology as a new, low cost alternative for connecting homes. On the surface, it looks like the worlds of wired and wireless are colliding, but what we see are two uniquely different broadband networks maturing and evolving in ways that are mutually beneficial, with fiber as the high-speed access infrastructure and wireless providing a cost-effective connection to the home. This really improves the service provider's business case. More importantly, it makes it so that we can add gigabit services to subscribers out beyond the normal fiber footprint.

Broadband Award 2018: Best Network Convergence

Access to the network is capital intense. The only option to reduce the investment risk is to have the physical networks scale over more users, more services and more market segments.

One of the first applications of virtualization in the fixed network is being pioneered by Nokia. Network slicing is a virtualization use case that enables a single infrastructure to run virtual access networks. By slicing the infrastructure into independent virtual networks, operators can maximize usage for different services, while protecting performance and simplifying operations. This changes the perspective for network service providers to offer the Network as a Service (NaaS).

Network slicing gives full flexibility to manage, operate and automate services on top of the physical network. This is different from traditional active network sharing where the access network is purely managed by the network provider with limited real-time interaction and control for other operators.

Broadband Award 2018: Best Broadband Delivering Social Impact

Innovation is never done just for the sake of innovation. This award, recognizing the social impact of broadband, was a joint award won by Nokia and Chorus for their project realized in New Zealand. Connectivity is an essential part of New Zealand's growing economic and social infrastructure, and especially important for rural communities. Chorus and the New Zealand government, with the support of Nokia, partnered together on the Rural Broadband Initiative to radically improve connectivity in the most remote parts of the country. The programme has delivered 1 Gb/s fibre broadband to 1,000 rural schools, ensuring that students now have access to the same opportunities as their urban counterparts. The availability of gigabit broadband has had a profound impact on rural schools, teachers, students and their communities.

ITU Telecom World Awards 2018

Nokia was the winner in the Smart Emerging Technologies category for our Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING), a managed services offer that permits operators to grow their IoT business more quickly by offering truly seamless IoT services globally. WING tracks devices across a number of access technologies – both licensed and unlicensed – and enables operators to offer enterprise customers low latency global data collection, security and 24/7 connectivity monitoring.

We were again confirmed as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series following the June 2018 index review.

FTSE Russell (the trading name of FTSE International Limited and Frank Russell Company) confirms that Nokia has been independently assessed according to the FTSE4Good criteria, and has satisfied the requirements to become a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series. Created by the global index provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The FTSE4Good indices are used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.

Small Cell Awards 2018 - Excellence in Commercial Deployment

This award can be won with a small cell deployment that is in currentand commercial use within the Enterprise covering a wide range of settings suc has enterprise buildings, small offices and shopping malls. The judges are awarding new ideas either technical or relating to the business model which has enhanced the small cell offering to the market.

The lead judge for the category provided the following comment:

“In-building cellular deployments at enterprises are challenging as they require close co-ordination with multiple stakeholders including network operators and enterprise venue owners. The judging panel would like to recognize Nokia for the deployment of Flexi Zone indoor small cells for Telefonica Chile in the largest shopping mall in Latin America. The deployment showcased that indoor small cells, in close collaboration with an operator, can significantly improve the user experience and boost network utilization.”
